Siachen - Stainless Steel Thermos Flask 350 ml

"Siachen" means "place of wild roses" in the Balti language — named after the flowers that once bloomed in the valleys far below the glacier's ice.

At 76 km long, Siachen is the longest glacier in the Karakoram range and the second-longest non-polar glacier on Earth — a slow river of ice that moves just centimetres a day.

The Karakoram-Himalayan region — home to Siachen — is called the "Third Pole," holding more fresh water than anywhere on Earth outside the Arctic and Antarctic.

Temperatures at Siachen plunge to -50°C in winter, with snowfall exceeding 10 metres — making it one of the most extreme environments on the surface of the planet.

Meltwater from Siachen feeds the Nubra and Shyok rivers, which flow into the Indus — the source of the world's largest irrigation system, sustaining hundreds of millions of people.
